34. "not just for movies but also because he singlehandedly changed the" In response to Reply # 6 Fri May-20-11 06:41 PM by cheap skeiht killa
face of the action star and opened the door to Cruise and Matt Damon being able to get in the game. He made the regular guy an action star. If not for Vin, the musclehead action star would be extinct. On top of that his catalog is longer and flat out better.
Armageddon 5th Element LMS 16 Blocks Striking Distance yes HH counts the Die Hards are good - better than the Rambos RED was a good flick Hostage was very entertaining It really is not close, even if you count my bias
edit
To be fair Tango and Cash is also a big winner for Stallone
13. "Wilis really gets by on Die Hard almost exclusively" In response to Reply # 0
He was a barefoot Joe Everyman smartass that had his gun and wits about him. While Stallone and Arnold definitely have the bigger body of work, the fact you could relate with Willis moreso than the other two have people giving him any consideration
And honestly, the oG Die Hard is like the perfect action movie. GOAT or top 3, no question.

14. ""Bruce Willis Only has Die Hard" . Are you nuts?" In response to Reply # 0
-Die Hard Quadrology ( 5th one is on the way) -Pulp Fiction -Fifth Element -Sin City -Armagedon -The Siege -The Last Boy Scout -Striking Distance -Lucky Number Slevin -Red -Surrogates -The Jackal
GOAT is still Arnold because he made his characters iconic.Bruce would be right behind him. I just need The Rock and Vince to catch up.

17. "Not ONLY Die Hard, but truth be told" In response to Reply # 14
A lot of those flicks you listed aren't exactly 'action' flicks, and some he's not even headlining (Slevin, for instance)
Don't get me wrong, he's got a shit ton of movies, and some pretty damn good ones too. But for action movies, his calling card is, was and will always be Die Hard.
They're really doing a 5th one? Lord....

15. "I'd just like to throw Charles Bronson into the mix" In response to Reply # 0
I don't think he's the GOAT, but I think he deserves mention in the conversation based on some of the names that are popping up here.
You've got an ok franchise (Death Wish) Awesome parts in ensemble (Dirty Dozen, Magnificent Seven) Leads in tons of underrated 70s action flicks (Red Sun, Mr. Majestyk, Hard Times) A HOF bad-ass in my book (Harmonica in Once Upon A Time in the West)
25. "none of Clint Eastwood's movies are really action jaints tho" In response to Reply # 24
they/'re mostly action/dramas or action/comedies but at the same time he's far and away the best actor of all of them tho
